In the middle of the 18th century, Kovalivka was part of the Second Hundred of the Poltava Regiment and belonged to the Counts of Rozumovsky. In the 19th century, the village belonged to the landowners Podchasky, Herbut-Geibovych, and Trepke.

During the Soviet times, a children's labor colony named after Maxim Gorky was located on the territory of the Trepke estate, headed by Anton Makarenko, the founder of the Soviet system of child and adolescent education. Later, the Children's Colony named after Volodymyr Korolenko was created in its place. Now it is the Anton Makarenko State Museum-Reserve.

In the village there is one of the largest contact zoos of Ukraine "Ecopark Kovalivka". On the shore of Kolomak, a recreation area "Liberty Beach" has been set up.

Село Ковалівка на річці Коломак розташоване за 15 кілометрів на схід від Полтави. Адміністративно входить до складу Полтавської міської територіальної громади.

Виникнення Ковалівки наприкінці XVII – на початку XVIII століття пов'язане з інтенсивним заселялисям місць навколо Ворскли за часів Козацької держави. Вперше вона згадується як козацький хутір Коломацький, згодом як Генералівка – на честь засновника генерала Йоганна Вейсбаха. Дослідники вважають, що нинішня назва села пішла від прізвища або роду занять перших поселенців.

У середині XVIII століття Ковалівка входила до складу Другої сотні Полтавського полку, перебувала у власності графів Розумовських. У XIX столітті село належало поміщикам Подчаським, Гербут-Гейбовичами, Трепке.
